Log Book #3 -
List of Carvings and Hours Used to Complete Carvings 1938
The entries in
this Log Book #3 of Pauline Miller Cowan, record a few pieces of work she
completed while employed by the Tryon Toy Makers and also notes some work
as a carver. She enters
the specific name of the task and generally records the hours she spent
completing the work and the date of completion. She sometimes signals the end of the
project by the use of the word "Fini" after she had fully executed the
project. This log book also contains information on pricing of items from
the Tryon Toy-Makers and Carvers.
